Field
The described technology relates generally to an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display and a manufacturing method thereof.
Description of the Related Technology
An organic light emitting diode display includes two electrodes and an organic emission layer interposed therebetween, electrons injected from a cathode that is one electrode and holes injected from an anode that is another electrode are bonded to each other in the organic emission layer to form an exciton, and light is emitted while the exciton discharges energy.
An example of a method for forming an organic emission layer in such an organic light emitting diode display to display full colors is laser induced thermal imaging (LITI).
In the laser induced thermal imaging method, a laser beam generated from a laser beam generator is patterned using a mask pattern, and the patterned laser beam is irradiated onto a donor film including a base film and a transfer layer to expand part of the transfer layer and transfer it to the organic light emitting diode display, thus forming an organic emission layer on the organic light emitting diode display. Thus, this method has advantages that each emission layer can be finely patterned and dry etching can be used.
The transfer layer is made of a single layer of the organic emission layer or a dual layer of the organic emission layer and a resonance assistance layer, and when the transfer layer is made of the single layer of the organic emission layer, thermal energy is transmitted to a hole transport layer (HTL) in the laser induced thermal imaging process such that a carrier accumulation is generated in an interface between the hole transport layer (HTL) and the organic emission layer, and thereby a characteristic of the organic light emitting element may be deteriorated.
Also, when the transfer layer is made of the dual layer of the organic emission layer and the resonance assistance layer, performance of the interface between the resonance assistance layer and the organic emission layer is improved, however the carrier accumulation is generated in the interface between the hole transport layer (HTL) and the organic emission layer such that the characteristic of the organic light emitting element may be deteriorated.
Further, thermal damage to the resonance assistance layer and the hole transport layer (HTL) is serious because of the thermal energy generated when using the laser induced thermal imaging such that the driving voltage may be excessively increased.
In addition, when using the laser induced thermal imaging, heat is transmitted to the anode such that the interface characteristic between the anode and the hole injection layer (HIL) may be deteriorated.

A contact hole 185 for revealing a part of the driving transistor (Qd) is formed on the protective layer 180.
A first electrode 710 is formed on the protective layer 180 of the pixels (R, G, and B). The first electrode 710 is made of a transparent conductive oxide such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide (IZO).
The first electrode 710 further includes a reflection layer (not shown) made of a reflective material, and the reflection layer is made of a metal having high reflectivity such as silver (Ag) or aluminum (Al), or an alloy thereof.

The red resonance auxiliary layer 375G is thicker than the green resonance auxiliary layer 375G. The red resonance auxiliary layer 375G and the green resonance auxiliary layer 375G are added to control a resonance distance for each color, and they can be made with the same material as the hole transport layer (HTL) 373. When the material of the hole transport layer (HTL) 373 becomes thicker, the current amount does not need to be increased, so the material may be appropriate for the resonance auxiliary layers 375R and 375G for controlling the resonance distance.
A red organic emission layer 377R and a red interlayer 379R are stacked on the red resonance auxiliary layer 375G of the red pixel (R), and a green organic emission layer 377G and a green interlayer 379R are stacked on the green resonance auxiliary layer 375G of the green pixel (G).

To prevent color mixing, an organic light emitting material having a characteristic in which hole mobility of hosts of the red organic emission layer 377R and the green organic emission layer 377G is less than hole mobility of a host of the blue organic emission layer 377B is used so that electrons and holes in the red pixel and the green pixel (R and G) may be combined on the red organic emission layer 377R and the green organic emission layer 377G to emit light, and thicknesses of the organic emission layers 377R, 377G, and 377B are controlled.

The blue organic emission layer 377B is provided on the substrate including the green organic emission layer 377G and the red organic emission layer 377R, and an electron transport layer (ETL) 381 and an electron injection layer (EIL) 383 are sequentially stacked on the blue organic emission layer 377B.
The electron transport layer (ETL) 381 and the electron injection layer (EIL) 383 include at least one of tris(8-hydroxyquinolino)aluminum (Alq3), PBD, TAZ, spiro-PBD, BAlq, SAlq, 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BCP), and 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Bphen), and they are not restricted thereto.
The organic emission layer is formed by using a transfer method using a donor film, and the interlayers 379R and 379G are provided between the organic emission layer of the donor film and the heat transfer layer to minimize thermal damage to the organic emission layer caused by heat energy during the laser induced thermal imaging process and improve an interface characteristic of a boundary between the electron transport layer (ETL) and the organic emission layer.
Since the thermal damage to the organic emission layer is minimized, the life-span of the organic emission layer is increased and product reliability is improved.
The interlayer is formed inclusive of an electron transfer material and an electron injection material, and the electron transfer material having a low electron injection barrier and the electron injection material having high electron injection performance and poor electron transfer performance are mixed to control the amount of electrons caused by light emission and reduce residual electrons not caused by light emission, thereby improving the life-span.
When a ratio of the electron injection material is high, the life-span is increased, and when it is included at more than a predetermined level, a life-span overshoot phenomenon occurs to increase the driving voltage. Therefore, the electron injection material of the interlayer and the electron transfer material are mixed with the ratio 2:8 to 8:2. The hole injection layer (HIL) 371, the hole transport layer (HTL) 373, the electron transport layer (ETL) 381, and the electron injection layer (EIL) 383 improve luminous efficiency of the organic emission layers 377R, 377G, and 377B, the hole transport layer (HTL) 373 and the electron transport layer (ETL) 381 control the balance between the electrons and the holes, and the hole injection layer (HIL) 371 and the electron injection layer (EIL) 383 reinforce injection of the electrons and the holes.
The hole injection layer (HIL) 371, the hole transport layer (HTL) 373, the resonance auxiliary layers 375G and 375B, the organic emission layers 377R, 377G, and 377B, the interlayers 379R and 379G, the electron transport layer (ETL) 381, and the electron injection layer (EIL) 383 form an organic light emitting member 720.
A second electrode 730 for transmitting the common voltage (Vss) is formed on the electron injection layer (EIL) 383. The second electrode 730 includes a bottom layer and a top layer, and it has a transflective characteristic to partially reflect light and partially transmit it. The bottom layer and the top layer are made of a metal that reflects light, and when they are made thinner, they have the transflective characteristic to reflect incident light or transmit it. The second electrode 730 can also be formed as a single film.
An encapsulation layer (not shown) is formed on the second electrode 730. The encapsulation layer encapsulates the organic light emitting member 720 and the second electrode 730 to prevent permeation of external moisture or oxygen.
In the organic light emitting diode (OLED) display, the first electrode 710, the organic light emitting member 720, and the second electrode 730 form the organic light emitting element (LD). The first electrode 710 receives a voltage from the driving transistor (Qd) through the contact hole 185 of the protective layer 180.
The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display transmits light to the second electrode 730 to display the image. The light output to the second electrode 730 from the organic emission layers 377R, 377G, and 377B reaches the second electrode 730, it partially transmits through the second electrode 730, and it is partially reflected and transmitted to the first electrode 710. The first electrode 710 reflects the light and transmits it to the second electrode 730. The light traveling between the first electrode 710 and the second electrode 730 generates interference, and the light with a wavelength of the distance between the first electrode 710 and the second electrode 730 that may cause resonance generates constructive interference to increase intensity and the light with other wavelengths generates destructive interference to reduce the intensity. Such traveling and interference of light is called a microcavity effect.
The top emission method has been described in the above, in which the first electrode 710 has a reflection layer, the second electrode 730 has a transflective characteristic, and the light is output through the second electrode 730, and an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display according to a bottom emission method in which the reflection layer of the first electrode 710 is replaced with a transflective layer, the second electrode 730 is made thick to reflect the light, and the light is allowed to transmit through the substrate 110 can be acquired.
A method for manufacturing an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display according to an example embodiment will now be described with reference to
As shown in
A first electrode 710 is formed on a protective layer 180 of the respective pixels (R, G, and B).
A hole injection layer (HIL) 371 and a hole transport layer (HTL) 373 are sequentially stacked.
As shown in
The base film 50 is made of a material that has transparency for transmitting light to a light-to-heat conversion (LTHC) layer and that has an appropriate optical property and sufficient mechanical stability. For example, the base film 50 is made of at least one polymer material selected from polyester, polyacryl, polyepoxy, polyethylene, polystyrene, and polyethylene terephthalate, or of glass.
The light-to-heat conversion (LTHC) layer can be formed between the base film 50 and the transfer layer 20, it absorbs light in a range from infrared rays to visible rays and partially converts the light into heat, it must have appropriate optical density, and it desirably includes a light absorbing material. In this instance, the light-to-heat conversion (LTHC) layer is a metal film made of Al, Ag, or their oxides and sulfides, or an organic film made of a polymer including carbon black, graphite, or an infrared dye.
The transfer layer 20 is separated from the donor film 10 and is transferred to the substrate 110 on which the hole transport layer (HTL) 373 is formed by the heat energy provided by the light-to-heat conversion (LTHC) layer, and it has a configuration in which an interlayer, a red organic emission layer 377R, and a red resonance auxiliary layer 375R are sequentially stacked.
The transfer layer 20 uniformly laminates the red resonance auxiliary layer 375R on the hole transport layer (HTL) 373 in the red light emitting area of the donor film 10. The transfer layer 20 irradiates laser beams to the donor film 10 attached to the hole transport layer (HTL) 373 to transfer the transfer layer 20 of the donor film 10 to the substrate 110. Therefore, the red resonance auxiliary layer 375R, the red organic emission layer 377R, and the interlayer 379R are sequentially stacked on the hole transport layer (HTL) 373 of the substrate 110.
In the laser induced thermal imaging process, the interlayer 379R is provided between the red emission layer of the donor film 10 and the light-to-heat conversion (LTHC) layer to transfer laser beams to the hole transport layer (HTL) 373 and thereby minimize thermal damage to the red emission layer caused by heat energy.
In this instance, when the interlayer 379R is formed, transmission of heat of the laser beams to the organic emission layer is blocked.
When the interlayer 379R includes an electron transfer material and an electron injection material, the residual electrons that are not caused by light emission are reduced to improve the life-span by controlling the amount of electrons that are caused by light emission of the emission layer inclusive of the electron transport layer (ETL) material with poor electron transfer performance and excellent electron injection performance and the electron injection layer (EIL) material with excellent electron transfer performance and poor electron injection performance.
Also, when the host material of the organic emission layer is mixed with the electron injection material, the interlayer can be formed by reducing the mixing ratio of the electron injection material compared to the case of mixing the electron transfer material and the electron injection material. This is because the host material having the same characteristic as the LUMO level of the organic emission layer is provided on the interlayer to allow the electrons to fluently move to the organic emission layer, and the host material has electron transfer performance that is similar to that of the electron transfer material. For example, when the electron transfer material and the electron injection material are mixed with a ratio of 4:6 to form the interlayer, the host material and the electron injection material can be mixed with a ratio of 5:5.
When the electron injection material is increased, the life-span is improved, and when the increase is excessive, an overshoot occurs to increase the driving voltage. Therefore, the electron injection material and the electron transfer material can be injected with a ratio of 2:8 to 8:2.
By the same process as described above, a green resonance auxiliary layer 375G, a green organic emission layer 377G, and an interlayer 379G are formed. In this case, in the laser induced thermal imaging process, the interlayer 379G of the donor film 10 is formed and the green organic emission layer 377G is transferred to thus minimize the thermal damage to the green resonance auxiliary layer 375G and the green organic emission layer 377G caused by heat energy.
As shown in
An electron transport layer (ETL) 381, an electron injection layer (EIL) 383, and a second electrode 730 are sequentially stacked on the blue organic emission layer 377B, and an encapsulation layer is formed thereon to complete the organic light emitting diode (OLED) display.
Regarding the organic light emitting diode (OLED) display, the interlayers 379R and 379G are mixed with an electron transfer material and an electron injection material with a ratio of 4:6, and the comparative example according to the conventional art includes no interlayer.
As shown in
The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display according to the example embodiment maintains luminance of more than 95% until 200 hours after 140 hours whereas the organic light emitting diode (OLED) display according to the conventional art has reduced luminance of below 91% after 140 hours.
While this disclosure has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical example embodiments, it is to be understood that the embodiments are not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
